Patient's question:
My child came home from school yesterday and said his back of the head hurts. Later, I let him rest in bed, but after not too long, he started to have a fever of 38.5 degrees. I gave him fever-reducing medicine, but the fever didn’t go down. By 4 a.m. today, I gave him another dose of fever-reducing medicine and took him to the hospital to see a doctor. His temperature dropped to 37.7 degrees. The doctor said his throat was inflamed, and the headache was caused by a cold. It’s nothing serious, so he prescribed anti-inflammatory medicine and heat-clearing granules. Now he’s experiencing diarrhea and feels a bit nauseous, and the pain in the back of his head still hasn’t gone away. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's condition is likely a headache caused by a cold and fever. It is recommended to give the baby more water, take some antiviral cold medicine, rest, avoid strenuous exercise, eat light and easily digestible food, and take Montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea. This is the advice for the question "My child came home from school yesterday and said his back of the head hurts." I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
